The Rationalist 8/29/'06
The differences between the Puritans and the Rationalist is simply thier beliefs. Rationalists believes everything can be explain through science. Puritans believes things are the way they are because God made them that way. Rationalists would have believe today the reasons for the hurricane season would be because of global warning, and the earth's rotation. Puritans in today's time would have believe the reason for hurricane seasons is because God is punishing the world.
Franklin's thirteen names of virtues is a good example of how Franklin is a Rationlist.This thirteen names of virtures, like Franklin said is a perfect way to reach moral perfection. Like people of today and history, Franklin found that he would not always do one thing and avoid another. Habit took the advantange of inattention. Inclination was too strong for reason. Then concluded, at length, that were speculative conviction that it was our insterest to be completely virtuous was not sufficient to prevent our slipping, and that the contrary habits must be broken, and good ones acquired and established, before we can have any dependence on a steady uniform rectitude of conduct.
My thriteen names of virtues would be the same as Benjamin Franklin. Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Indsutry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquillity, Chastity, and Humility would be my thirteen steps to reach moral perfection. With these steps and my dedication, I can reach moral perfection by simply letting time pass me by. My temperance is very good, I'm always silence till spoken to, and order is something out of this wotld. I have master form of resolution, frugality, and sincerity that really stands out of me. As well too, my justice, moderation, cleanliness, and tranquillity affects the very peolpe around me. The only thing I would have to keep up the good work on is my chastity and humility, which I can only say to is that "I'm only a human being".
In the Declaration of Independence there are some thoughts and ideas that I wish to point out and explain. Here in the very begining of the declaration we hear a rationalist thought," When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them". This proves that they were not of the old ways of puritans beliefs, the rationalist were just as they were called "rational people". Here's aother thought of the rationalist just in the begining of second paragraph, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". This whole sentence clearly says their everything the Puritans are not, in a complete and oppsitie form fo people. A final thought found of the raionalist in the declaration would be thier divine providence,"with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence".

I'm done with the Rationalist
You have done a good job here. Your thirteen virtues look a lot like Franklin's but you have explained them well. I suppose I am okay with that.
thanks.
